Zoning & Planning

ACC works with its clients throughout their projects to determine the suitability of sites.  Reviewing and incorporating zoning and land planning conditions in to plans from inception through the approval process increases the viability of sites and conserves valuable resources.   Costs to comply with existing ordinances and other regulations can exceed the actual construction of facilities.   Efforts to secure a site in a area where facilities will not be permitted are a waste of capital and manpower that could be best used in other areas.  ACC will perform preliminary zoning analysis to identify the process needed for development of a facility.   Once it has been determined that a facility will be permitted or the process to grant approval is determined. ACC will work with the client and their legal representation to optimize its design to ensure minimal objections and to secure approval.  ACC coordinates all the necessary professionals including legal, architectural and engineering, planners, real estate, EMF compliance and others to assist in the completion of necessary documentation, application preparation and providing the necessary testimony for any hearings that may be required as part of the process.

ACC provides expert witness testimony for RF engineering, EMF health and safety issues and real estate issues.  ACC principles are experienced and trained in providing concise and understandable responses to avoid any potential for conflict that may arise to adversely impact a carrier’s application.  ACC can also assist municipalities review carrier documentation and testimony to ensure that it does indeed meet the required standards and complies with all regulations and requirements.
